Refer to the Controlled Pests list for the full list of pests.
Insects controlled
• Colorado potato beetle(1)
• Diamondback moth(1)
(1) Larvae

Rates

Dependent on pest. Use as indicated on product label.* Use the higher rate for larger larvae (insects), higher populations or when the crop foliage (canopy) is dense.

Application Timing

Rainfast: 4 to 6 Hours for foliar treatments. Soil treatments should not be applied if heavy rain is forecast.Light rainfall during or after application is helpful.

Mixing Instructions

To prepare the spray, add approximately 1/4 of the required amount of water to the spray tank and with agitation add the Lorsban. Complete filling the tank with the balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of the spray mixture.

Herbicide Group

Group 1B

Tank Mixes

In wheat, barley and oats, when tank mixing Lorsban NT insecticide with the following herbicides, always add the herbicide to the spray tank first and then add the Lorsban NT insecticide:

• Banvel® + 2,4-D Amine

• Buctril M

• MCPA Amine or Ester

• 2,4-D Amine or Ester

Additional Information

Optimizing Performance:

• Uniform crop coverage is essential.

• Use a boom configuration that provides optimum coverage.

• Use higher rates where infestations are heavy or foliage is dense.

Resistance Management:

Lorsban NT contains a Group 1B (organophosphate) insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Lorsban NT and other Group 1B insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides is used repeatedly in the same fields.

Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to the site of action but are specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist.
